About: Hiii!! I’ve grown up around pets my whole life and truly love being around animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own whether that’s going on fun walks, giving belly rubs, or just being a comforting presence. I know how much pets mean to their people, so I’m all about keeping them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a student in college but I still make time for pet care because it’s something I genuinely enjoy. On weekdays, I’m available in the afternoons, and evenings depending on my class schedule. I always make sure to plan ahead so your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you have. In your home, I make sure to respect your space and keep everything clean and calm, so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. If they stay with me, I provide a cozy, friendly environment where they can feel right at home. Every pet is different, so I always take the time to understand their personality and needs.

Jorge was fantastic. We met before the stay to talk through what the cats needed and I was immediately happy that he was looking after our cats. They took to him straight away. I received pictures of the cats and in depth reports about how they were doing and it put my mind at ease that they were being well taken care of. I will definitely be using Jorge next time I need a sitter.

About: Hi everyone! I've owned dogs my entire life up until three years ago when my beloved poodle passed away after 15 years of being a part of our family. I love taking care of puppies and dogs, especially large dogs. I have personal experience (owning) and professional experience (walking and sitting) a variety of breeds from small to large. I love to enjoy the weather and make sure your pup gets adequate exercise and am available to walk your dog, house sit, or conduct drop-in visits as needed. I’m available in the mornings and evenings for walking and visits and can house sit on weekends. I'll always make sure your pup is safe, comforted, healthy, and having a great time! I can't wait to meet your pup! :) I'm looking forward to talking to you soon! I’m available every day as I’m in between jobs right now. I can fit multiple walks per day, drop ins, or dog sitting at your home at any time :) While I’m not able not able to care for pets at my home, I’ll be sure to follow your pet’s routines at home so there’s little disruption in their routine.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up with two dogs and was very hands-on with their care; everything from long walks to making sure they were always active, happy, and getting lots of attention. Since then, I’ve dog and cat sat for many friends and neighbors over the years, and I always treat their pets like my own. I know how important it is to stick to a pet’s routine and make them feel comfortable while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, so I’m available for pet sitting three days during the week and can be flexible based on your pet’s needs! I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and predictable environment for every pet. I’m very attentive on walks; keeping a close eye on surroundings, avoiding unsafe situations, and making sure your pet is always secure. In the home, I’m mindful about keeping doors closed, food and small items out of reach, and maintaining a clean, hazard-free space. I also take time to understand your pet’s personality, comfort level, and boundaries. Whether that means giving them space to warm up, sticking closely to their routine, or providing extra attention and reassurance, I adjust my approach to best fit their needs!😊🐾

Ellie is awesome! This was our first time using a Rover sitter and we were a little nervous since our fur baby needs to get insulin injections, but she really eased our nerves with her friendly personality and competence! She was also great with communication and even sent some adorable photos. We will definitely be asking Ellie to help out again in the future, and Frankie and Pablo can’t wait to see her again!

Lili took care of our cat, Mishmish, while we were on vacation. She followed instructions to the T, and our elderly cat, who is usually pretty lethargic and not overly friendly, warmed up to her. We came back to clean litter box, swept floors, and our cat having fresh water and food. We will absolutely work with Lili again when we travel for extended period of time, and highly recommend her to any pet owner.

About: New to Rover? Use code BIANCB29046 for $20 off your first booking. Hi, I’m Bianca—a lifelong dog lover serving Riverdale, Kingsbridge, Spuyten Duyvil, Yonkers, and Southern Westchester! I run a small, intimate boutique doggy daycare and boarding service, ensuring your pup gets plenty of personalized attention in a safe and stress-free environment. Unlike large, overcrowded facilities, I keep things cozy so your furry baby can socialize, play, and relax just like they would at home. I also offer dog walking in Riverdale and Kingsbridge. About Me: 🐾 Born & raised in Riverdale – your local dog-loving neighbor! 🎓 Columbia grad & triathlete – active and attentive, so your pup gets plenty of love and care. 🐕 Experienced dog mom – I know how important safety and trust are (especially for pups who love to snack on random things!). 💼 Laid off 6 months ago – growing my small business while job hunting, so your support means the world to me! I know firsthand how stressful it can be to find someone trustworthy to care for your dog while you’re at work, traveling, or on vacation. That’s why I provide frequent updates, photos, and a meet-and-greet beforehand, so you feel at ease knowing your pup is in good hands. Let’s give your dog a fun, safe, and loving experience while you enjoy peace of mind. Message me to set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to welcome your pup into my home! 🐕💛 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, especially since I'm currently working from home and applying to jobs, giving me plenty of time to focus on providing personalized care and attention to your dog alongside mine. I’m available 7 days a week with advance notice, ensuring flexibility and dedicated support for your pet’s needs. I have a dog-friendly home, as I own a pup myself, so everything is set up for safety and comfort. My dog is the friendliest cuddle bug, gentle and playful—perfect company for your dog. I also have a crate available if crating is preferred for sleeping or when I'm away, ensuring your pet's routine is maintained while they're with me. I also will take many pictures of your dog daily and send them to you :) My home is a calm and dog friendly environment designed to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Occasional barking, especially during play or adjustment periods, is completely normal and expected. However, dogs with excessive reactive barking toward people, dogs, noises, or movement may not be the best fit for my home environment. My home is a fully potty-trained household, so I ask that all dogs staying with me be fully house-trained as well. I completely understand that occasional accidents can happen, especially during the initial adjustment period in a new environment. However, repeated indoor accidents or marking behavior are not a good fit for my home environment and may result in an additional cleaning fee if extensive cleaning is required.

I also trained my own dogs too I’m available weekdays before 9 and after 5 pm and weekends all day from very early to late. I don’t mind staying overnight. It’s ok for me I have toys for cats, scratches, a tower and a good space to take care of your pet without any problems. I’m also open to get some dog toys.

About: I’ve always loved dogs, and started walking them about 6 years ago. Now I’ve mostly worked with senior pets, usually medium sized dogs. I’m always eager to learn more about any animal in my care, and will stay in touch with daily updates. I’m almost always available, and I have plenty of time to give your pet individualized care and attention. If you need me, I’m there for your pet! I prefer to schedule a meeting to meet you and your pet before sitting for them. That way I’m familiar to them, and I can hear directly from you about any special needs, medications, habits, and things to look out for.

I cannot recommend our cat sitter highly enough! She took such amazing care of our cats while we were away and went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she make sure our cat was comfortable and monitored closely, but she also cleaned up all the messes without complaint and kept us updated throughout the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. She was reliable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely treated our cats as if they were her own. It’s not easy dealing with unexpected pet health issues, but she handled everything with kindness and dedication. We came home to happy cats and a clean home, and we are so grateful for her help.

Marin went above and beyond taking care of Wyatt while I had two back to back days out of town. She was super accommodating of my last minute request, found time to do a meet and greet so I was comfortable, and went the extra mile to meet Wyatt’s needs. He’s an anxious boy still getting used to the city and Marin gave me thorough updates, cleaned up after his messes, and followed my instructions to a T. I really hope Marin becomes our go-to when I need someone to check in on him in the future.

If we could give Darianny 10 Stars we would. We have a newly diagnosed diabetic 12 dog. She wears a diaper and she needed to be medicated with insulin via syringe. Both of her needs were met with care, skill and love. She care for our dog fur babie E. and her sister P every day for 5 days. She was punctual, kind to our girls and never rushed her visit. Our dogs need to be fed and let out has well. We would highly recommend Darianny B. for your healthy pet, but more importantly, a dog who needs some medical attention. Darianny is a Vet tech, and that her even more valuable as a caretaker. We can't thank her enough and will used her again and again if she is available

We could see how happy, comfortable, and safe our girls were in every picture. She followed all of our instructions closely and was incredibly flexible throughout the entire stay. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and her calm, attentive approach made a world of difference. We’ll definitely be using her again, she’s officially our go-to dog sitter!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Yonkers

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Yonkers on Rover is $31.06 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 25,794 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Yonkers. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Yonkers stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Yonkers choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Yonkers with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Yonkers. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
